My favorite conspiracy theory is that everything is gonna be okay.

You are the result of 3.8 billion years of evolutionary success.

Appropriate post for Veterans Day.

Some things will always be worth fighting for. Family is at the very top of that list.

Another example of the odd phenomena of Ivy League protesters who seem to believe they have a right to protest in public, but without anyone seeing who the protesters are.

@kinsellawarren @nytdavidbrooks This makes me so sad.

I encourage everyone to watch this entire @jaketapper segment which lays bare how deeply evil and cynical Hamas and its top funder the Islamic Republic are.

This does not mean governments are off the hook, but Hamas and the Islamic Republic do not wish for freedom... all they want is death, destruction, and subjugation.

People who were coerced into becoming engineers by their parents, are you grateful to them for what you are doing in life right now?

One last thing -- the election in Virginia on Tuesday is critical. So please retweet and even chip in $10 or $15 or more, that would be great:

Highly, highly recommend Tangle to anyone looking to broaden their political engagement. Isaac and the tram do a tremendous job drawing out nuance and resisting the tendency to paint black and white, simplistic pictures of incredibly complex issues

@DavidAFrench I will miss reading you. Thanks for all your good thoughts.

I wrote this two weeks ago, and I still stand by every word:

Trying to quiet the buzzing in my mind, here are 10 random things I know or believe. Maybe one or two will resonate with you:

1. Every human life has infinite worth.

2. Collective punishment is always wrong, revenge is not a strategy, and civilians in a conflict must be actively protected at all costs.

3. No country and no government could allow what happened in Israel last week to happen again. The old Hamas-based status quo is probably gone for good.

4. Those kidnapped kids, women, and older people need to be released NOW.

5. The occupation must end as soon as possible.

6. Despite what some deluded people in both camps may think, neither the Jews nor the Palestinians are going anywhere. We find a way to live together, or we suffer and die together.

7. Fighting about the past, about the “narrative,” about who did what to whom in 1929 or 1936… and who started what, tends to be a tiresome waste of time. What matters is what we do now.

8. The only way out of this hell is by working for freedom and dignity for *all* people.

9. Whatever happens next, Israel needs to release Marwan Barghouti, the one Palestinian leader who could play the “Mandela” role in negotiating a solution.

10. The world, and specially the U.S. and Europe, have much more power than they seem to understand. If they wanted to, they could force/entice all parties in the conflict to do (or not do) almost anything.

That's it. I hope some of this makes sense.

One million seconds is about 11 days.

One billion seconds is roughly 31.5 years.

One trillion seconds is equal to about 31,710 years.

Big reason there’s still no speaker:

Any Republican who wants to be speaker who even *hints* at working with Democrats to get some votes is probably toast in their party.
